During one of my early seminars, there were a bunch of seminar junkies there.

I'm aware of my audience in a way, and I do try to engage with them while I'm trying to go about my business of thinking. I believe they help me by providing a focus.

I tell everyone I interact with what I'm working on and let them bring me anecdotes that illustrate my themes.

When I teach and meet a class for the first time, you realize that there are people there that have exceptional abilities or have the potential to do exceptional things and you never know who those people are. My job is to provide the best information I can.

People trust I know what I'm doing. I have lots of credibility. I've had years of learning. I know and understand my business.

My seventeen years of teaching inform my sense of audience in every line I write.

But I got an audience that knows what I do. They usually show up, so I usually do pretty good.

Those that don't believe how small my work is should just come along and see it for themselves.

I've always said if what I'm going to create doesn't look good on everybody, I'm not going to do it.

You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.
